Clinic for Mind Body Medicine

Patient Care

 

 

 

Philosophy of Healing

We believe that the body has a natural potential for healing and the mind has the potential to activate internal healing processes.

Our approach is not about alternative treatments but placing patients and their capacity to heal at the center of the therapeutic process.

We believe that the possibility of stepping into a healing plane is possible for everyone and requires little more than changing ideas about what is normal.

Mindful Body

Mindful body refers to the phenomenally experienced body self.  It is the starting point for changing one's psychological, interpersonal, and physiological life.

The experiential guide of the mindful body is somatic awareness. Somatic awareness is the mind’s perception of the inner healing sensations of the body.

Inner Pharmacy

The human body has the potential to heal through the activation of an “internal pharmacy.” When healthy, our bodies produce analgesics, anti-depressant drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, sleep-inducing drugs, immune system strengthening drugs, gastrointestinal normalizing drugs. We can awaken this inner pharmacy by paying attention to bodily sensations of well-being.

Medication Withdrawal

Participants are encouraged, through clinical direction, to minimize, if not discontinue the use of antidepressants, pain killers, sleeping pills, and medications for anxiety.

The consistent use of medications to relax, improve mood, induce sleep and ease pain undermines an individual’s ability to gain self-control of health. Individuals who rely on medication to sleep, to settle, or to control chronic pain will not trust themselves to gain control over the symptoms and their health.

The Clinic provides patients with a drug withdrawal protocol and guidance in self-regulation that when successful, results in the reduction of symptoms and restoration of health.
